| Popis: | Introduction: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III), 1988-1994, first time reported a significant, positive association in iron storage and heart disease risk. Thereafter several researchers have found an association between iron overload, serum ferritin (SF) and MI. No such Indian study was available in the literature and so we decided to find out the relation of lipid profile and Serum Ferritin with myocardial infarction (MI). Materials and Methods: Fifty indian patients of AMI (study group) and fifty indian healthy volunteers (control group) were included for the present study. Lipid profile including TC, HDL-c, LDL-c, VLDL-c & TG and SF levels were estimated in all subjects. Observations and Results: Mean ± SD of TC level was 250.64 ± 25.61, of HDL-c was 36.52 ± 2.86, of LDL-c was 165.69 ± 26.80, of VLDL-c was 42.35 ± 8.53 and of TG was 211.83 ± 42.65 in study group while these values were 174.46±47.68, 43.2±12.52, 98.37±41.13, 32.88±21.45 and 164.42±107.29 respectively in control group. All the parameters were found not only raised in patients of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) but were also statistically significant when compared with control group (p= |
